Not a "horribly formed name" in the classic sense of this thread, but a local restaurant opened up in the last few months (taking over the space from what had long been a Thai food/doughnut shop). The sign out front reads
Ch4s and Fr4n's PlaceEat Here or We'll Both Starve

There's a shop in Shoreditch called something like (I approximate massively but you'll get the point) 'Shop that sells really cool things to cool people LOL'. I haven't been in to confirm if the name is accurate.
